Inspiration in the Sky When conditions aren’t inviting me to venture out for some inspired shooting… I just wait for the sky. Without snow this winter in the mountains where I live, the dry, lackluster terrain just isn’t all that awesome to photograph all by itself. At least it isn’t for my taste. Maybe I’ve…
